Background
Teaching Lab collects a variety of data to understand the impact of its PL for educators and students. Please see this resource for a visual overview of our evaluation framework. Additionally, the narrative of our evaluation plan provides more details.
To date (Jun 06, 2023), Teaching Lab has collected the following data during SY22-23:
- 11 complete responses to the Ongoing Coaching section of the survey that gathers participant feedback on each Coaching session;
- 3complete responses to the End of Coaching section of the survey that gathers participant feedback on each Coaching performance;
- 24 complete responses to the first Knowledge or Self-Reported Practices Assessments and 0 to the second Knowledge or Self-Reported Practices Assessments;
- 20 complete responses to the Baseline Diagnostic Educator Survey that collects information on teachers’ use of curricula, mindsets, self-reported practices, and school environment & 3 responses to the Follow-up Educator Survey.
- 25 observations of classroom instruction.
- 55 high quality samples of student work.
Below we have compiled the results in various sections: Participant Background and Demographics Summary, Participant Perceptions, Participant Knowledge, Teachers’ Mindsets & School Environment, School Leaders’ Mindsets & Observational Practices, Instructional Practice and Student Outcomes.

Responses to “Which activities best supported your learning during the coaching support?”
Responses to “Overall, what went well during coaching?”
Responses to “Overall, what could have been better about the coaching?”
Responses to “Feel free to leave us any additional comments, concerns, or questions.”

Section 3: Participant Knowledge/Self-Reported Practices Assessments
For most PL courses, Teaching Lab administers a pre- and post- content knowledge or self-reported practice assessment. Below the pre and post averages are visualized by assessment.

Section 4: Teachers’ Mindsets & School Environment
Participants complete Teaching Lab’s Educator Survey twice a year: at the beginning and end of their participation in PL. The survey collects data on teachers’ mindsets, perception and use of curricula, and perceptions of school culture and climate.
Section 4a: Teacher - Mindsets
Teachers responded to several items about mindsets, related to recognizing race and culture, the need for remediation, high expectations for all students, and growth mindsets on a 5-point Likert scale. Composite measures were created for each construct by reverse coding some items and then averaging responses across items. In this way, higher scores correspond to holding equitable mindsets.
The following are average scores by item calculated by the weighted quintile multiplied by a ratio on the scale of 0-1. Higher scores are better
See here for an example.

Section 4b: Teachers - Perceptions and Use of Curricula
Teachers responded about the different curricula they use regularly and the most often. Overall we see the following results.

Teachers’ Perceptions of School Leaders and CBPL
Teachers responded to items about their perceptions of school leaders and PL environment.
Teachers’ Perceptions of School Environment
Teachers responded to items about their school environment.
Section 5: Teachers’ Instructional Practices
Teachers report on their instructional practices in the Educator Survey and some are observed by Teaching Lab staff.
Section 5a: Teachers’ CRSE Self-Reported Practices
Participants complete Teaching Lab’s Educator Survey twice a year: at the beginning and end of their participation in PL. The survey collects data on self-reported culturally responsive and sustaining education (CRSE) practices.
Section 5b: Direct-to-Teacher Coaching Observations
Teaching Lab has the opportunity to observe some participants over the course of their participation in PL. Below are the results of the initial classroom observations conducted using the IPG Math and ELA Tools, in addition to the FSOT. Ratings of 3 and 4 on 4-point Likert scales and Yes on a Yes/No items were considered positive.

Section 6: Student Outcomes
Some teachers will administer a student survey to at least one of their groups. Using 5-point Likert-type scales, students will respond to items related to their teachers’ engagement in CRSE practices, teacher-student relationships, self-efficacy, happiness and sense of belonging, and being challenged.
